本文报告了两个实验，头转向偏好的方法，提供证据，已经在7至9个月，但尚未在6个月。学习德语的婴儿在连续语音中识别非重读的封闭类词汇元素。这些研究结果支持这样的观点，即即使是前言语儿童能够计算至少封闭类功能元素的语音表示。他们还建议，这些元素必须提供给儿童的语言学习机制，从很早开始，让孩子利用封闭类词汇元素的分布特性，进一步自上而下的分析语言输入，如分割和句法分类。
The paper reports on two experiments with the head turn preference method which pro vide evidence that already at 7 to 9 months, but not yet at 6 months. German-learning infants do recognize unstressed closed-class lexical elements in continuous speech. These findings support the view that even preverbal children are able to compute at least phonological representations for closed-class functional elements. They also suggest that these elements must be available to the language learning mechanisms of the child from very early on, allowing the child to make use of the distributional properties of closed-class lexical elements for further top-down analysis of the linguistic input, e.g. segmentation and syntactic categorization.
